Lost Girl (Bakugou X Reader )

Chapter 42 Smile

*Nanami POV*

"Nanami?"

"Hm?" I groaned.

"Nanami, can you hear me?"

"Principle Nezu?" I try to open my heavy eyes. "What happen?"

"Im afraid we were unable initiate the change" He explains. "You exhausted yourself and passed out"

"Thats embarrassing" I sit up and run my hands through my hair.

"Its to be expected, especially the first time, so dont worry" he reassured. "We will figure it out"

A knock at the door pulls our attention.

I was surprised to find Bakugou standing by the door. One arm resting against the frame, the other pulling on the strap of his back pack.

"Ready to go?" He tilts his head towards the exit.

I look back at Nezu, who gives me a nod.

"Yeah" I get up and grab my bag from the bed across from mine.

Bakugou walked out of the building in silence, the tension between us might as well have been a wall.

Once we were just outside of the dorms, he finally spoke.

"Did you loose control?" he asked.

"No!" I hissed as my cheeks flushed. Feeling More insulted than I should have.

"Do you know when your going to loose control? Or does it come on pretty suddenly?" he asked gently and I lowered my defensiveness.

"I can feel it" I nodded. "I feel when it falls beyond my control and thats usually when the transformation starts"

"Does it hurt?"

"soo much" I winced.

He turned to face me, his expression giving nothing away.

"Then why are they making you induce it" he asked in a low voice. "Dont they know?"

His calm exterior was freaking me out.

"Well yeah... but" I met his gaze and scrunched my lips to the side. " I... I wanna control it" I held his gaze. "I need to"

"There you are" A tired voice called. "I figured I'd find you two together" All Might walks up behind us.

Bakugou and I lock eyes and lean slightly away from each other.

"Come. They aren't going to wait to start the breifing" He walks ahead of us and we begin to follow.

We arrive at UA's main building, where police and heroes from different agencies gathered and mingled.

A slender man with glasses takes the podium.

I recognize him. He is a pro hero, Nighteye.

"We have new intel on league. We have reason to believe the league is working with the Yakuza and this... " The image of a beautiful little girl fills the screen. "Is Eri, the daughter of the young head of the Yakusa, Kai Chisaki.  He goes by the name Overhaul. We know they are opperating with illegal substances. Such as Power enhancing drugs. We arent sure the role the child plays in this, but two of students at my agency ran into these two by chance, they noted the girl was full of bandages and appeared distressed. We have to proceed with cation during the investigation as to not spook the yakuza, it will make them disappear further into the shadows, making them that much harder to find as well as rendering months of work useless." He pushed his glasses into the bridge of his nose.

"For instance, since discovering the leagues hideout last time, they have been more careful with how they operate now. They are likely Using other less known members of the league to do more of the work on the front lines while things cool down for a bit."

like gin. I thought.

"On that note, we have noticed a lot of activiity in this abandoned building close to Yokohama city." New images fill the screen with a busted building. Full of broken windows and dirty walks.

"It has been visitied almost daily by two grey industrial vans unloading cargo into the building. Most of the time we are unable to get a clear shot of the drivers or the people unloading the van, until today."

My face went pale. He was wearing a hoodie, but his face was making no effort to hide his face. I could even detect the faintest smile on his lips.

His wings remained retracted but still on full display as he got out of the van and entered the building.

"Thanks to Nanamis intell we know he goes by the name Gin. We know he experiments with quirk enhancing drugs, and specifically how drugs affect those with certain genes. We are not sure if Eri is perhaps part of these new experiments."

A low growl to my right brings my attention back to Bakugou. "He's not dead" he snarled.

All Might eyes land on Bakugou. "Oh!" he gasped. "So scarry!" he looked at me. "Calm down young Bakugou!"

"We will be forming a team within the next few days" continued Nighteye.

"Days?" My heart sank.

Memories start flashing across my mind. Gins cold smile, the smell of my blood as it dried, the taste of my tears, the fear that exploded in my chest with the sound of the opening door. not knowing weather it was morning or night, or how many days had past. the pain of transforming over and over again and then, that little girls face.

Suddenly I found myself unable to take a single breath.

"Nana?" Bakugou puts his hand on my shoulder. Its warmth and weight course along my body. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. When I open them I whispered. "We cant wait days"

"I was thinking the same thing" All Might agreed.

He placed his large hands on both of our heads and gave a gentle pat. "Dont worry, I will talk to Aizawa and see what we can do."

Bakugou shook off All Mights hand as if it was burning his head.

"We cant have little Eri waiting for us too long right?" his warm smile made me feel at ease, like everything was going to be alright.

"Right" I smiled as hope filled my chest.
